Suggestions Please!!!!

My '69 Chevy Short step is in need of a new column.
I want a tilt with the dimmer switch on the turn signal lever.
My truck is a 4 speed so I don't want a sifter on the column. It has to look clean.

I meet a guy the other day that had an S-10 column in his '55 pickup, it looked real good. Has anyone tried this in one of our trucks?

I know I can get an Ididit for way too much, but I on a budget.

If you have any Ideas let me know. If you have any pics posts them.

Thanks,

My van tilt has the cruise control button on the turn signal at the end, there is a button to push in,maybe wire one of them for the dimmer? Check the faq,there have been a few threads on converting a auto tilt to 4spd tilt column

True. But I tend to stomp to hard. I have broke a couple of switches.
